7. Have fun
Here's the plot.
It's been three years since anyone has seen so much of a hair bead of Jack Sparrow. Port Royale has been practically devoid of all pirate activity, as Commodore Norrington and Govener Swann have noted. A small gift from Jack Sparrow. He and his daughter Rose have taken to the Seas and havn't looked back. Will and Elizabeth have lived a relavity normal life, with only one visit from Jack and his crew a year after Sparrow escaped the noose and death at Barbossa's hands once more.
Yet Barbossa has escaped, no longer immortal, but still seething with hate he goes in search of a way to destroy Jack Sparrow. After a long and difficult search he finds another of Jack's old enemies. A British officier in the Royal Navy...Lieutentant Clarion. Jack defeated Clarion years ago, in a raid on a British merchant vessel. Bitter, and ashamed young officer is still angry over the defeat. Together Barbossa and Clarion form a plot ro rid themselves of their common enemy. Barbossa disgueses himself as a member of the Royal Navy, now using the name Morgan Holland.
Yet all is peaceful for a short time. Then news begins to spread in the Caribbean. A new settlement, new and unarmed settlement called Port Dantes is attacked. And not just any attack, but massacared. The small helpless population was brutally slaughtered. And left behind only one survivor at the main Port. Lietentant Clarion. He gives the navy a perfect description of Jack Sparrow and the Pearl naming those who attacked his Port. There is a problem however. Jack Sparrow is nowhere to be found, nor has he heard of the attack. He is in fact out searching for the last of his crew woman's family. Kat...Saber's sister. And he finds her in Tortuga...Kat. And something else happens Clarion didn't count on.... another person survived the battle....a young lady whom calls herself Raven. In Tortuga Jack is caught by the Navy and taken to Port Royale. There he meets a baffled and somewhat angered Norrington and a unsure Will and Elizabeth. And in the shadows waits Clarion and Barbossa, now seen as the heroic survivors of some horrible battle.
Norrington's hands are tied. He is bound by the law, as is Governer Swann who can only ask for a delay in Jack's hanging. The Turners, having not seen Jack in three years, believe, or half believe the rumors....after all.....all evidence points to Jack. Will begs the crew of the Pearl to prove Jack's innocence, as the Captain awaits death in his cel. But he's not left alone. Clarion and Barbossa wish to break the man of his spirit. Helped along by small amounts of laudanum in his food and nightly tortures, Jack begins to loose his mind.
All to late Clarion and Barbossa's plan is discovered by Jack's crew, who race to tell Norrington. However, they meet Clarion's loyal crew men, who engage the Black Pearl in a battle at Sea, delaying their voyage further. Yet they arrive in time, Norrington's own men sailing out to find the Pearl and escort her crew to Port Royale. Clarion is killed, at the hands of Jack's family and friends.....and Barbossa escapes again. Jack is left in ruins. His mind is gone and his body is weak and poisoned. Will and Elizabeth take him in, as his crew watches, hands tied and not sure of how to help him. For Jack doesn't seem to recongnize any of them, even his own dear Rose. To make matters worse the British Crown wants to kill Jack and plans to send a Royal Escort to Port Royale and hang him. If not for the massacre at Port Dantes, then for his many other crimes againest the Crown and it's Navy. This gives Jack less them a month to become strong again and set sail out into the Caribbean. His crew circle Port Royale as the days go by, visiting the Captain at the Turners, urging him to recover. But Jack's locked in his own shattered mind.
In the end it is a attempt at the Turner child's life, on Rose....by Barbossa that Jack is forced to snap himself into reality once more. With the help of his crew, the Turenrs and friendships he's earned along the way, Jack sets out into the Caribbean, Captain of the Pearl once more.
Have fun mates....

:Jack had left Will, just to think....when Tobbs came up to bandage up his fist...he didn't move, just watched her silently. He still didn't understand her completly.....but she didn't seem like a threat of any sort:
:When she'd finished he just watched her a while. Pondering of the person he knew as "Eunuch" and the two smaller people he knew to be "stars." However....there were still many people in this place he didn't know...or....thought he didn't know:
:It was frustrating...knowing enough to understand that these people knew him, and most likely knew him well...but he couldn't understand who they were..or how they were related to him...how did they know him?:
:With a sigh he looked over at Tobbs, focusing on the necklace really....he knew that was important...very important to figuring out who she was....he knew now...she was a friend...at least that was something:
:He looked down at his bandaged fist and sighed again, thinking. Finally a memeory came to him, of him talking to this person....he'd given her that necklace....her name....he looked at her a while: "Tobbs?"

*Tobbs, upon finishing his bandaged fist, stood and placed the supplies and extra bandages upon the ickle table near the window. She looked around and saw the untouched food on her plate and the other plate having other picked at food Jack had eaten, and, seeing that it seemed both were done, she grabbed them and was about to bring them down when Anna passed in the hallway and took them for her.*
*Taking her extra blanket and placing it upon the chair as well as a small pillow she'd been given, she was about to curl up yet again when she heard somehing that made her freeze in her steps.*
'Tobbs?'
*She turned slowly and looked at who the speaker was, thinking it was merely a figment of her imagination, something she wished to hear coming from the person she'd wished it to be said by. But when she saw Jack gazing curiously at her, she knew he was remembering her. She grinned and walked over to him, placing her hand on his arm.*
"Jack..."
*She said it just above a whisper, and though she wanted to embrace him in a hug, she knew twas just the beginning of him remembering her, so she smiled softly and nodded her head.*
"Yes, it be Tobbs, I be Tobbs...I'm glad ya've remembered me a bit..."
*She paused again*
"...now get some rest, its been a long day indeed."
*She grinned once more and stood, turning to curl up in the chair, and mayhap for once rest a bit...mayhap...*

:Jack watched Tobbs react to her name.....he didn't move for a long while, and watched her move around the room. Suddenly he stood up, and stopped, still watching her:
:Hewent over to her then stood there a second before he pulled her into a very hesitant hug, as if he needed some sort of reassurance that he was safe here: "Tobbs."
:it was a statement now..not a question. Just simply acknowledging her as a friend of his. Someone he cared about. Much like the "eunuch" person. He closed his arms around her and smiled a bit:
"Safe?"

*Tobbs began to head for the chair when she heard Jack get up, and, when he said Tobbs again, she noticed how twas more of a statement, as if he was sure it was her now.*
*Turning, she paused and looked up in his eyes, seeing the flicker of rememberance, and suddenly he pulled her into a hug, a bit hesitant, but nonetheless a hug. She smiled and hugged him back, wishing to savor the sweet moment as long as she could, like one of those seconds you wish to always remember and have.*
*When he smiled a bit, her eyes were on the verge of brimming with tears. She nodded her head as he spoke, and replied softly,*
"Safe."

:Jack gave Tobbs a smile that was only a shadow of his old smile...but he was a bit happier:
"Savvy." A slight declaritive statement really. But it sounded like him. He could figure out that this was person who was a friend...probably even loved him. But he still was happy. Then he nodded at her:
"Go to sleep Tobbs." He said in a voice that sounded a bit rusty from lack of use. He let her go then took a few steps back and turned to the window. "safe." He seemed to be telling this to her. Telling her she was safe, and he'd look out for her, not the other way around.:
:He moved towards the window to watched the sea and stars right now, and then over his shoulder at her: "Savvy?"

* As Sarah walked past Maria pushing and ignoring her. She gave her a glance then looked back at Jack. She smiled and her hearted warmed at his words. Forgetting about what Sarah had just done she walked up to Tobbs.*
" I knew 'e would remember you. You're ... Tobbs for bloddy sake. His love is strong for you."
* As she looked past Jack and to the window. She could see the night sky. remebering what Briar had said. She started to take off her bracelett and handed it to Tobbs.*
" Please keep it safe.....Please."
* Maria ran downstairs and once again past Sarah. To meet Briar.*
( Sarah you can folow me but i won't know savvy!)

*Will laid silently in his bed when he heard the voice of not only Tobbs but Jack as well. It seemed he was starting to remember her too, and he'd even spoken a full sentence. Will smiled and got up, unable to sleep so early. He glanced in at them in the room and smiled again as he walked past and went downstairs. Elizabeth was standing by the kitchen window now, looking out it. He walked up behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders and he kissed her cheek.* Jack is starting to get better. He's recognized Tobbs too now, and I heard him speak a full sentence. *Will said. Elizabeth smiled and turned to face him.* Thats good to hear. Are the twins in bed? *She asked. Will nodded and then frowned a little and sighed.* I wonder what Barbossa's next move will be. I knew we shouldn't have let him go three years ago. *Will said sadly, pondering what evils Barbossa had planned now, and wondered if Jack or his crew had plans to go after Barbossa.*

Sarah excused herself from Elizabeth as Maria rushed past her outside. I need to make sure that girl doesn't get in trouble. Elizabeth rushed inside and brought Sarah a cloak, then bed her on her way. Sarah thanked her then went running after Maria, checking her sword and knives as she went. Sarah knew she would need to tell Maria she had followed her one way or the other. Though Sarah was still rather mad at Maria and decided to see what Maria was up to first.

:Jack had seen Will wander past the door and went after him..once more, just to follow him for no particular reason:
:But instead of really following, he just went out a back door, and stood on the patio, looking ut to sea.. He frowned inwardly.....thinking. His mind was a jumbled mess...with memories coming in a bit more clearly...or ideas coming in a bit more clearly. He sgiehd and looked up at the sky:
:How had he gotten here in this place? He was only sure that he'd been hurt recently....and here, in this house...he was safe for the most part. He frowned....trying to remember:

Emma wanted to go look for Kat immediately,and said as much.But Rick placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her."You wouldn't know the first place to start lookin' Emma,"he said quietly.
Shestarted to say something,but faltered."All right.Fine.So I don't.Has that ever topped me before?"She turned towards the door,but felt his arm going across her shoulders,holding her back.
Rick knew Emma wouldn't hurt him.He was one of the only people she would never hurt;she was,after all,still a pirate.He spoke softly."Emma,the best thing yeh can do for her right now is go get some dinner.Ye'll need yer strength up when we figure out where she is."
Emma glared up at the few inches of difference between herself and Rick.She absolutely hated it when he was calm and rational.It got in the way of her impulsiveness.Nevermind that it was usually for the best.Finally,she sighed,prying his arm off of herself.
"All right,Rick.But if she's not back in a few hours,I'm goin' out there an' there's nothin' yeh can do teh stop me!"
Rick nodded agreeably."Fair enough."He started towards the kitchen,then stopped in his tracks.He swung around to face the girl who had asked them about Saber and Kat."Are ye' comin' with us,Miss...?"
Emma realized with a start that she hadn't introduced Rick to her friend.She also stopped and turned around."Oh...Rick,this is Arayel.Arayel,Rick."
Rick bowed to the girl called Arayel.
"Arayel here be the one as patched up me arm so nice"
Rick glanced,not for the first time,at Emma's arm.Mostly healed,but still obviously hurt.He frowned for a moment as he stood up."Who did that to ye,Emma?"he asked.
Emma waved her injured arm slightly."Ye mean this?Well,ye know the Navy.Always shootin' people."She smioled darkly at him."An' I more than repayed the bloke as shot me,so no,there's no one yeh can kill fer me."
Rick snapped his fingers in overexaggerated disappointment-he hadn't expected,any less of Emma than killing the man who caused her harm.One of the reasons he'd never harm her.
Though not the primary one.
He laughed slightly,then headed again towards the kitchen,Emma walking slightly behind him.
Emma followed Rick as he made his way to the kitchen.As they passed the stairs,her ears-always tuned to the slighteset hint of danger-heard voiced from Jack's room.She paused for a moment,listening.
"Go to sleep,Tobbs.Safe."There was a slight pause,and she heard Jack's voice again."Savvy?"
Emma smiled to herself.About time someone told Tobbs to get some rest...She walked on,catching up to Rick and holding his hand,a slight smile on her lips.

:Jack came inside after a short while for two reasons. One...he didn't feel entirly safe outside still...and two...he was felt he should be upstiars looking out for Tobbs for some odd reason:
:He came inside....looking at his feet, until he all but ran into Emma and Rick. Startled he looked up and took a few instinctive steps backwards and gave them a curious glance:
:He arched a eyebrow watching them a bit....noted Emma's wound and gave it a considering glance, then he smiled a bit....trying to be a bit more friendly, prehaps then he was normally:
"Savvy." He said softly, as a greeting instead of a "hello"...but it was a greeting none the less. He looked around a bit, as if to try and figure out if the two of them belong there or not. finally he just concluded they must belong in this place..or "eunuch" would have kicked them out:

Emma jumped back as Jack nearly collided with her.He looked just as surprised as she,though perhaps none of them were as flustered as Rick,who was still rather too in awe of the Captain even to just call him Jack.
"Savvy,"said Jack.It sounded to Emma like a greeting.She smiled,letting go of Ricks hands and holding both of hers out,palm up,in the universal gesture for "Look at me,I don't have any big scary weapons that I'm going to hurt you with!"Which,for once,was true.She had left her weapons hidden safely under the matress in the foyer she'd been sleeping on.
"Savvy,"she replied softly.Then she decided to try talking to him,though she had only heard him speak one complete sentance since the madness came upon him.
With her uninjured arm(the other still hurt slightly when she moved it)she pointed to herself."Emma."She pointed to the young man standing at her side."Rick."She smiled comfortingly at Jack."We're friends.Safe."Then,she added,"Savvy?"

*Tobbs smiled when he said savvy, for twas something that sounded a bit more like him, as his other recent words had sounded. When he told her she should sleep, she nodded her head and suddenly realized she'd not slept well for the entire time of her stay at Port Royale.*
'safe.'
*Twas Jack who said it to her, and she looked up and smiled again. As if something in his manner triggered it, she suddenly felt less worried and stressed, as if a burden had been removed from herself by that simple word coming from Jack.*
'Savvy?'
"Savvy."
*She sighed happily and curled back up in the chair, resting her head against the pillow and watching Jack look out the window. When Will passed and he was leaving, she was about to stand and go after him, when she realized twould be alright, that indeed he'd be safe, and she didn't need to watch his every move.*
*Closing her eyes once again, she lay her head back, and almost instantly fell into a light sleep...*
